Today’s
card is the King of Coins from the Legacy of the Divine Tarot by Ciro Marchetti.
This is the king who is practical and reliable, sure of himself and sometimes a
bit conservative. He is a great manager and
his focus is always on the welfare of everyone he is responsible for. He
yearns for sensual pleasure and is sometimes a bit self-indulgent.
When you have
so much responsibility, you have to make time for the good things in life. And most
of the time the king doesn't feel guilty in doing so. But he never crosses boundaries
because he knows the eyes of his people are always upon him. Look at him standing
there on the balcony with his Pentacle in his hands. What is he thinking? What does
he want?
For some additional
information I pulled one card from the Gilded Reverie Lenormand: the Fox. Oops.
There is something sneaky going on here. Although the fox wants to get into the
henhouse, I've got the feeling the king wants to run off and leave his Pentacle behind for a while. I guess
everybody can relate to this feeling. We all have our responsibilities but o,
how wonderful it would be, if we could just play truant for a while and run off to
do whatever we want and maybe even misbehave just for a tiny little bit… Or
maybe we have to manipulate others to have some time to ourselves. Is it so bad
to feign a headache when you want to be
on your own for a while…..
I think
there a lots of ways to “sneak out” if we need to. Maybe not all totally legit but
certainly very understandable.
